V O O O O ,. ,,.,.- To us has been accorded the honor and privilege of presenting within these pages not only the events of the year of 1935 but also a bit of the history of Old Elm and Burgard that comes to us as a part of our heritage from a quarter of a century of progress dating from the inception of our school in a basement room on Broadway in 1910 up to the present. In commemorating this Silver Anniversary, our purpose is to pre- serve, for the days when we too shall be num- bered with the Alumni, those associations which shall become dearer with the passing of the years and at the same time pay just homage to those who have had a part in the building of that school spirit of which we all can feel so proud. That these pages may serve as a happy memory of the past and an inspiration to our successors to Carry On to new heights yet to be achieved is our earnest hope. F01

With the publication of this Silver Anniversary year- book, THE CRAFTSINIAN pays tribute to a quarterfcentury- long struggle in this city, which began formally for us in 1910, when the Broadway Vocational School was started. lt was the forerunner of the present Burgard Vocational High School, and was established by Mr. Henry P. Emerson, Superintendent of Schools, for the purpose of offering vocational education in the printing trades. Messrs. Francis H. Wing, Director, William B. Kamprath, Principal, Edward T. Welsh, and John C. Heinike witnessed and took an active part in this struggle during its earliest stages and followed it through to the present date. They have seen the whole develop- ment from beginning to end and can recall many of the important miles-tones in vocational education passed during these twenty-five years. Our school was born in the basement of School No. 44 on Broadway and Krupp Streets. Dr. Louis .l. Knell was principal, and he, together with Mr. Kamprath and Miss L. Spinner, ninth grade teacher, purchased a little press and some type to get out a school paper. Two small rooms, one for shopwork and one for bookwork, located at opposite ends of a long basement corridor, were used by this first vocational printing experiment. Our equipment consisted of 20 frames containing 200 cases of type arranged in series and 50 cases of body type, one C. 81 P. 10x15 Gordon press, one Boston wire stitcher, one Potter proof press, one C. Sz P. proof press, one C. 81 P. paper cutter, one Rouse mitering machine, one New York drying rack, two imposing stones and other necessary printing office accessories. The slit basement windows permitted the afternoon sunlight to stream into the shop in long narrow streaks and illuminate the Hframes and casesw in real cloister style. Dr. Arthur D. Dean, then chief of the State Divi- sion of Vocational Education, wrote on the flyleaf of one of his books which he presented to us in 1911, MThe School of Tomorrow will have a printing press.
